Can one of you radical pro-government types explain to me why the police need to seize all the cell phone video and keep it out of the hands of the public?

Does webDiplomacy keep statistics on how many times each country wins on its site?
I was just wondering whether these statistics are kept, and if they are, what it might show about bias towards a particular country.

What if the mods just listed the other banned accounts' names/ids on a banned users profiles. I'm not talking about listing any accounts that the mods may have allowed to continue, just the others banned at the same time for multi or metagaming.

It was clearly supposed to be humorous. Silencing a gamer for 24 hours is not akin to murdering Jews. But I still think phil has been mistreated here.

By the way, what was the deal with that user? Care to explain what that whole thread was about? I see you didn't ban the original poster (not that I'm implying he should have been)

It wasn't humorous. If you think phil has been mistreated then pm him and let him know he has the option to appeal his silence to another admin or to kestas.

No I don't care to explain, investigations and conversations concerning players are private and kept between the team and the person in question. If that player decided to post some of the conversation on the forum you can assume correctly that you are only getting a biased portion of the conversation.
Nigee - you were not docked any points.

You aren't going very far to convincing this thread that there hasn't been an injustice done. Anyway you are obviously entitled to your decision and I am entitled to disagree with it. I guess this matter is over if you're not willing to do anything to redact from phil's punishment or not to explain it at all.

@Synapse, I'm not offended, I'm explaining. 3 different moderators have explained the reasoning behind the silence, you've chosen to ignore it. You've also been given 2 different ways to appeal the decision. You've ignored those options too. If all you want to do is complain then this conversation is over. If you actually want to understand or appeal the decision then I'm more then willing to explain or direct you to the correct post in this thread.

jmo1121109 (3812 D)
10 May 13 UTC
...no that isn't what I meant. If you want another moderator or admin to take it seriously you should consider explaining why you think his silence wasn't fair. Why you think that my warning was unfair, why you think silencing someone who ignored that warning wasn't fair, why you think philcore's post didn't violate my warning, whatever your reasoning is. If you think the actual rule is unfair then you should email Kestas because the moderators do not have any control over the site rules or their wording.
It's not that they don't like the persons who made cheating accusations before phil but it's purely coincidental.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

The fact that I wasn't given a 24-hour silencing *strengthens* the case that the mods are not biased towards their friends. I'm pretty sure more than one of the mods considers me a massive nuisance, and I'm certainly not "friends" with any of them although I respect their hard work in keeping some level of order on the site. If the mods played favourites, as someone *not* in the "favourites" camp, it would have been an ideal chance for them to slap me down. That they didn't shows they try their best to be balanced and fair, rather than favouring some users and picking on others.

For what it's worth, I slightly regret my cheating implication in the thread in question. I'll happily accept a token 12-hour silencing if this would make anyone feel better.

Split, you are being ridiculous. Jmo and every one of the mods do this work for free. They aren't paid to be here and to be here 24 hours a day. When Jmo saw the cheating accusations, he posted as soon as he saw. Your comment just drips of bitterness that should be addressed elsewhere.

Jamiet, done. Your 12-hour self-imposed silence starts now. You may post after 1:30am Central Pacific Time. :)

Holy shit!!!
I can't believe just how BAD some people need to waste their time. And that of other people as well.
I might make enemies with this statement, might even lose credit in the eyes of friends, but here it is:
THIS IS JUST A FUCKING GAME! This site is nothing but a place where you get to play this game. And if you have issues with the rules of this site, or their application, FIND ANOTHER ONE.
This self-righteous attitude so many seem to have here is the exact reason why I don't play as much on the site. I just can't stand it. There's a huge difference between taking a game you love to heart, and taking a game and its context seriously. There is no real competition here, no real trophy, no serious gaming. This is a place where we get to enjoy a game we're passionate about, not a place where we fucking try to gain a sense of personal value. Who fucking cares who gets silenced, who gets banned? Who cares if the mods are neutral or biased? What impact does any of that have on the actual games you came here to play??? Fucking hell...

If this site is so important to you and the economy of your life, I think you either need to get a life or just buck the fuck up and deal with the rules and their applications. It's not YOUR site. Hells, it's not even the mods or the admins site. I'm not saying don't ask questions, don't ever be critical... But fucking hell: how many threads like these have I seen???? And this one is already at 79 replies??? Are you serious?

If this attitude didn't carry into games, it wouldn't be so bad. But people get pissy here and then fucking carry that into the way they approach the games they play. Again: this is exactly why I don't play much here anymore. That attitude just fucking sucks. And it takes the fun away from the games.

ADMINS and MODS: you're all psychos for dedicating so much of your time to a site that harbors so many ingrates. I guess we need psychos like you and for that, I thank you.

The HATERS: go home, get laid, be happy. If there's one of those things you can't do, don't expect this site to do it for you. Any form of justice you seek here will never, ever make you as happy as being home or getting laid would.

The JOKERS: and I'm especially talking to you, Nigee... I hope you have the decency to let the people you're messing around know, at some point, that that's what you're doing... just messing around. Otherwise, you suck and are a disrespectful selfish fucker.

Ah.... I feel better..... that's one rant I've been meaning to have for a long, long time. It's just a shame that this thread is not read by all the people I'm thinking of in writing this.

Oh... and if you feel like insulting me or mocking me for this... go ahead. My general response to you will simply be: I have a home I'm always happy to return to, a wife I'm always ecstatic to fuck, and happiness in amounts that make me entirely able to ... well... to go play elsewhere if I feel the need to. So while you're preparing a come back, just know I'm smiling and thinking... "y'all can go fuck yourselves"

@Synapese, split is complaining that I didn't silence more people, you're complaining that I did silence someone. Those are opposite, you're not complaining about the same thing.

You both have the same options though, contacting another admin or Kestas. I'm not dismissing them because I think they are nonsense, I'm dismissing them because you've been given 2 options to solve your problem neither of which involve me. Use them or don't, but yelling on the forum isn't going to get anything done for either of you.
@ava, that's not the thread for me.Have you ever seen I demanded anything at all? I was never demanding and never will be.

@ SY:

Well, at least you had me check the urban dictionary, which usually provokes a smile.

But worry not, little one: I didn't address you at all. In fact, only in one case did I particularly address anyone. You just apparently immediately recognize yourself to be part of that category. And good for you to know who you are.

Calvin Coolidge
It seems that no one recognizes the good that Coolidge did. He was a pure capitalist, which means he lowered taxes (to 1.125% on the lowest bracket), and he cut spending drastically. All this led to the greatest boom in American history. Unfortunately, his successor raised taxes to outrageous levels (63% on the top bracket), and began spending more. All this led to the worst depression in US history, though FDR prolonged it. So why doesnt anyone give Coolidge credit?
